“Since I've been back to South Africa, I've been asked to do a few interviews, and sadly, I had to decline most of them because of my social anxiety, and I guess I now suffer from PMD, which is a hormone disorder and also a complex PTSD, which is like you know anxiety and all this, and I don't want to get into that now,” Pam Andrews said.

Andrews said that she has been better since her return to South Africa, but emphasised that she still is not yet ready to do interviews.
“But yeah, that is like a major thing I'm struggling with right now. And I hope that I will heal from this. I mean, since I've been back in South Africa, I've been much better, you know, obviously, being my family and friends. Beautiful weather, being home, and stuff like that have really helped me a lot,” she added.
She ended her video with advice for anyone facing similar struggles, urging people to prioritise their mental health. Pam Andrews urged taking care of oneself, warning that ignoring mental health could lead to suffering.
“I just wanted to talk about that because I know other people struggle with social anxiety or hormonal disorders and stuff like that. I just wanted you to know to take care of your mental health. Because if you don't do it, no one's gonna do it. And then you're gonna end up suffering,” Pam Andrews said.
